Title: Telekinesis Side Story: Waterslide Author: SomeOtherAnon Pastebin link: http://pastebin.com/8yyhmssp First Edit: Friday 6th of December 2013 11:07:28 PM CDT Last Edit: Friday 6th of December 2013 11:07:28 PM CDT >You dust off your hands, your work complete. >The entire waterslide is now aflame. >It looks much better this way! >You were stricken with inspiration in the middle of the night, so you stopped being in Canterlot, and started being in Ponyville. >Then you set the entire waterslide on fire, to see what it looked like. >Evidently, pretty cool! >You feel a tug on your shirt. >"Anon, you do realise that your waterslide is made of wood, don't you?" "Yes, Pinkie. I did realise that." >"Wood burns." "Oh." >Well that's a bit of a problem then. >What's the point of having a flaming waterslide if it's not going to withstand being on fire? >You sit, and think. >Water isn't flammable. You could make the waterslide out of that. >But, then again, how would you replace the wood with water? >You'll just have to displace it somehow. "I'd like a glass of water, please." >A short while later, and Pinkie returns with a glass of water. >You pour it onto the ground, and start filling the glass with space. >Once you've gotten about a waterslide's worth, you brush the rest of the space off the top of the glass, and head towards the end of the waterslide. >After the water runs out of slide, it just sort of pours out into the ground. >The ground's pretty big, so this shouldn't cause any problems. >At any rate, you hold the glass under the runoff, and water starts to fill the glass. >It takes a few minutes, but eventually the glass is filled. "Pinkie!" >She is by your side. >"Yes Annie?" "Could you get me a tube of some sort? I need it because reasons." >She disappears, and in almost no time at all, returns with a cardboard tube. "Perfect!" >You stab one end of the tube into the slide, and the other end into the ground. >The apparatus is complete! >You wobble and flow over to the start of the slide. >You touch the edge of the glass to this end of the slide, and pour the water into it. >As more water gets poured in, the wood gets pushed further down the slide, into the cardboard tube, and into the ground. >After a few minutes of pouring, you've replaced the entire slide with water. >You now have a flaming water waterslide. >It looks just as cool as you imagined. >Another tug on your shirt. >You turn to Pinkie, and put on a quizzical expression. >"Now the water's going into the slide." "Yes?" >"The water isn't flowing over the slide." >That's bad. >Now you have to somehow separate the water that the slide is made of, from the water that's meant to be flowing over it. >Hmm. >You decide to just freeze the slide. >You stick your arm in to the waterslide, up to the elbow. >Then, you take as much heat out of the water as you can grab. >All the heat goes into your arm, which starts to feel uncomfortably warm, then excruciatingly hot. >You drag your arm from one side of the slide to the other, taking all the heat as you go. >The water freezes as you go, and once you reach the end, your arm feels like it's on fire. >You tear your arm out of the slide, and throw all the heat into the Everfree Forest. >As it's quite a bit of heat, the air combusts at the heat moves through it. >It lands somewhere else, and that's good enough for you. >You stand back and admire your flaming ice waterslide. >The water flows as it should, and the fire stays where you put it. >Only now does it occur to you that it probably would've been much easier to just hold the slide very, very still. >Since heat is just vibrations and such, holding it still would have cooled it down to freezing. >Ah well, you'll remember that for the next time you need to freeze something. >You waltz over to the start of the slide again, and ride it. >Wheeee! >Waterslides are still fun. >Now all it needs is a stamp of approval. >You walk up to the side of the library, and press yourself really hard against it. >You melt through the wood grain, and end up inside the library. >You grab a quill and a piece of paper, and inscribe a seal of approval. "APPROVED BY" "ANON YTRII MOUS" "SEAL OF QUALITY" >Beautiful. >You leap out of Twilight's bedroom window, onto the waterslide, and ride it 'til the end. >It's still fun! >You fly off the end, and stop being in mid air >And start being back at the start of the slide, outside the library. >You lick the back of the seal of approval, and slap it onto the slide. >The ice cold surface of the slide freezes the saliva solid, affixing the seal. >Your work in Ponyville done, you stop being there >And start being back in Canterlot. >You stealthily slide your way back into your corner, curl up, and go back to sleep.
